The fees charged by the department pursuant to this section shall not be less than $100.00 nor more than $1,500.00 based on criteria contained in the fee schedule. b. The permit required by this section may be conditioned upon compliance with all rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this act. L.1971, c. 177, s. 5, eff. June 1, 1971. 58:10-23.30. Injunctive relief; penalties 6. If any person violates any of the provisions of this act, or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to the provisions of this act, the department may institute an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief to prohibit and prevent such violation or violations and the said court may proceed in the action in a summary manner. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this act, or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant to this act shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $3,000.00 for each offense to be collected in a summary proceeding under "the penalty enforcement law" (N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq.), and in any case before a court of competent jurisdiction wherein injunctive relief has been requested.
